  I often hear that Japanese sentences are &quot;backward&quot; compared to English sentences, and while that is (usually) true, this zoom in/zoom out concept makes a lot more sense. They&apos;re &quot;backward&quot; because of the way Japanese people think about the world vs. English speakers. A very enlightening revelation!

  I wish to add my two cents on this. Major breaktrough for me when i was learning english was when i realized that those &apos;commonly used words and sentences&apos; presented to you by books and teachers are actually not doing you any favours. Sure, its easy to learn how to greet someone and how to order drinks and such, but then it leaves you with a gap... In what situation in your daily life are you actually thinking those words? My breaktrough was when I realized that instead of those i should actually learn sentences that i am thinking about anyways most of the time -&gt; I am hungry, im taking a shower, im walking down the stairs, i will turn on the TV.. stuff like that. Then i was able to actually think in english all day long and the rest just slowly clicked in place due to constant exposure.

  ”Zoom in and zoom out“was the best clear idea I’ve ever heard. I began my journey to learn Japanese 6 months ago for living in Japan. From the beginning I was trying to create Japanese brain in my head but still not succeed. Since english is not my first language, now my head is confusing between English and Japanese words and word orders. Telling the truth, your videos have the most rich in effective methods and contents. Thank you for your job.

  I like to use “yoda -go”. If you literally reverse sentences, they are magically more Japanese in structure. “Yesterday, at home, videos, watched (私 is understood).” You can do this using English vocabulary to help “switch over.” This video is AMAZINGLY GOOD, btw.

  Wow.. this is a very original and helpful concept. I have been struggling with word-order and sentence construction for a long time. At some point, I started thinking about it in a similar way that an english speaker sets up a joke: layout the background and set up the scene, and then pay it off with the punchline. This helps, but your concept of zooming in vs. out really crystalizes the concept in a more elegant and useful way. What a game-changer! I am so grateful to be one of your students.. 感謝しても仕切れません！次の動画を楽しみにしています。

  Despite having studied Japanese for over 10 years, this is the first time I&apos;ve ever heard the &quot;zoom in&quot; vs &quot;zoom out&quot; comparison. My mind is blown. Thank you so much for teaching this so clearly! Keep up the great work.

  I have been married over 50 years to a wonderful Japanese lady. Your zoom in zoom out metaphor is the best description of what it’s like to be married to a Japanese for an American.. Your description of the zoom in zoom out metaphor is the best metaphor, I have ever encountered. Even the cultures are like that. Congratulations.

  This is the first time I&apos;ve heard anyone explain Japanese like this, and it&apos;s by far the best explanation I&apos;ve heard. Even though I understood how Japanese sentence work I always got lost when listening to longer sentences and just watching this video instantly made it better. 最高の日本語教師です
